Not sure what you mean - all forums are always displayed by category. Categories are the grouping by which forum topics are displayed on forum.aspx.

(P.S. - I did find a bug in your version, so be sure to download the final 3.1 release when it's ready)

Thanks a lot for the new files - the latest version works great! I have it up-and-running online.

One question concerning categories: Is there a way to sort/display a forum by category? Perhaps I haven't read the documentation all the way through but I have not been able to see that feature available.

Thanks!
Jason

Funny you should ask that ... just emailed you the pre-release for version 3.1!

For everyone else: version 3.1 is now live on this website, so you can see some of the new features, such as new SEO URLs, new social bookmarking built-in (and customizable), new RSS feeds, new Sitemaps built in, new ban control, and more!

Barry,

Thanks for all the updates, I appreciate it. Since my server is hosted, I am not sure I can get to those security settings, but I believe I can wait another day to obtain the updated security code.

Jason;
Some bad news - you may still have a problem on your server if you are using medium trust permissions (which it appears you are). We fixed the problem you had from the old version with this release, but introduced a new one.

Just one of the powerful new suite of anti-spam features of version 3.1 is the ability to list "spam" blacklist words (such as sex, etc.), IP addresses, or email addresses (such as all .ru) which prevent spam posts from occuring. Now we have to modify the 3.1 version code to use this feature on servers like yours, which use medium trust. It's going to be another day!

Jason;
I have sent you an email with instructions. I am releasing a post-development version of the latest forum to you, but it is pre-release. The documentation hasn't been updated yet, and a new theme is going to be added, but other than that the code has been tested and locked as the next final release.

Good news for everyone else; Version 3.1 is out of development and in the final packaging phase!!!

Your server is not configured to allow IO access to the forum template at run time; there is a new release fix coming out tomorrow (March 5 Release) that will fix this. Please hang in there until then!
